Speedy deletion nomination of Jade starr
A tag has been placed on Jade starr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I declined the speedy deletion because I accept the assertion of notability, BUT because the WP:BLP is not properly cited, it could not stay in articlespace. Everything from what genres of film to heritage must be properly cited inline to the article - simply listing a reference at the bottom of the page does not cut it.  The article is temporarily here for you to edit.  Please fix it ASAP, or I will have to remove it due to BLP-sourcing issues.  Let me know if you need help ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 11:12, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Help
Fixed the referencing problems, contacted my moderator, but it has been over a week and I haven't heard anything back. Is there something else I need to do? Thank you. Phantomcowboy (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * From your contribs, I'm assuming that you mean User:Phantomcowboy/Jade Starr.


 * In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;


 * Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions


 * Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.


 * Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the persons own website, or their publishers/labels website, or anything like that. We avoid press-releases. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.


 * Unfortunately, there are still problems with the article, because many of the references are not appropriate.


 * Some, such as jadestarr.com (and probably others) are primary sources - so they are not independent. Others, such as myspace.com, are not reliable sources.


 * The reader of the article should be able to verify the information, to 'check the facts', through references that are generally considered reliable. Information that cannot be verified should not appear in articles. This is especially important in biographies of living people.


 * I hope this helps, and that you might be able to find appropriate reliable sources to establish notability. Please ask for more help whenever you need it. You can also talk to helpers live. Best,  Chzz  ►  22:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

As you will see, I have done lots of work on the article. There remain problems with the referencing, however. "backdrop.net" is not a reliable source, because it is a wiki - ie user-generated content; it is not under editorial control. "formspring.me" is not a reliable source, and seems to be a primary source. The 'web archive' reference does not seem to mention Jade.

I hope that you can continue to improve the proposed article; please contact me again if you require further help.  Chzz  ►  01:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

All OK now; the email was received, checked out, and an 'OTRS ticket number' has been added to the picture, to say that we have the permission on file - File:Jadestarr.jpg.

Also, yes, I removed the 'unreviewed' thing. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  08:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * P.S. Out of interest, there are a few more pics of her on commons.  Chzz  ►  08:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
